it’s interesting how differently friday morning swim club and Black teenagers gathering around chicago are treated.
only one of those groups has gotten a fawning segment on national news.
Has Friday Morning Swim Club gotten too big for its own good?
As more people join the early-morning plunge, the club is breaking almost every rule the park district has about swimming — and getting away with it.

When I was kindergarten, I often came home from school in tears. I couldn't understand what was wrong with me — both the other boys and I knew I wasn't one. But I didn't quite fit in with the girls either.
It took 17 years for me to find words for myself.
Newport News School Board votes to defy state law requiring transgender student protections.
Newport News is one of the largest districts in the state and among the first in Hampton Roads to refuse to follow the law passed in 2020.

there's an exceptionally thin line that education reporters (myself including) are walking right now.
do we debunk conspiracy theories and risk giving bad actors oxygen? do we let them fester and risk misinformation spread?

I worked at Tribune Publishing from 2018-2021, and the gender and racial pay gap was glaringly obvious.
A pay study I worked on that analyzed 384 editorial employees pay found that the median pay for Black women was 22.5% less than white men companywide.
Seven Chicago Tribune journalists filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday against the newspaper and its owner, alleging violations of equal pay based on sexual and racial discrimination.
